This episode was a neat one indeed. Two new additions to the gangs' Pokemon, Palpitoad and Stunfisk. They were a pretty neat duo in the lake scene.

And seriously, what can't Cilan be? He's like the whole package, now that we know he can also fish. xD

Oshawott made the episode enjoyable as well. The aqua jets look very cool every time. Especially now that he has his eyes open. But on second though, Oshawott would look adorable with goggles on. I know having eyes open in the water can really strain eyes.

I really enjoyed this episode. It was fantastic to see oshawott finally overcome his fear of being underwater with his eyes open. Once again it was Ash's belief in him that caused him to conquer his fears; the poisoned pokemon just gave oshawott an excuse to be underwater for a lengthy amount of time.

In other news, it was unexpected we had two captures in this episode. To be perfectly honest I didn't expect any but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone is saying that Cilan's stunfisk was stupid it didn't seem that way to me (time will tell). Also, Palpitoad seems very strong already so less development may be required.

Finally, I loved how all the pokemon were having fun together (bar Emolga causing trouble). Great Episode .

Loves every part of pokemon, loves the movies, the anime and every game, so you could call me fan lol.

Why did Ash and Cilan have to go ahead and catch two of the most ugly Pokémon of the region? Also, where did Ash pull a Pokéball from. His shorts? Or somewhere else? o-o And Cilan was brutal to that Stunfisk. Being thrown around with the end of a fishing rod stuck in you is not fun.

If only we could hit pokemon with fishing rods. And weaken for capture. Ash catches too much in this season and i hope this "Roggenrola" will be the last. Pika, Osha, Tepig, Snivy, Tran, Swad, Scrag, Palp, and Rogg.

I would have thought Palpitoad would have been the "Who's that Pokemon?" but it was Foongus surprisingly. Also surprised that Ash mentioned Tympole by name, from what I remember he didn't do so in the Japanese version.

What started out as a good training episode was quickly ruined by the inclusion of Palpitoad being a dick. Why do we need to setup false conflict with Pokemon that are just in the episode to be the jerks. I would much rather seen them explore why Oshawott didn't like opening his eyes underwater, but no the writers decided to go the easy route and and create false conflict when they're was no need for it.

Why was it false? I thought it was quite simply palpitoad being annoyed due to it's territory being invaded. However, I do agree with you that an exploration underwater as well as an explanation for oshawott's fear would have been nice to see.

Loved this episode although any with Oshawott being a main focus I lked. And Oshawott mastered aqua yet as well which was cool and Ash and Clian each got a new pokemon. Im liking Ash and Clians friendship as well

Ugh, stunfisk, probably my least favorite of the Unova team's pokemon. I'm not very fond of it in the games, either. It's the dunsparce of the DS games- useful but I don't like it and it doesn't evolve (I prefer working with pokemon that do). But I do like Palpitoad, especially its gurgling voice. It's also interesting to see two regulars capture a pokemon in the same episode, that's really unusual. I think May and Jessie (with their Wurmples) were about the only other ones, right? I'm also glad Ash finally got Oshawott to get over its fears of seeing underwater. I love Oshawott.
